Question
How long does hand, foot, and mouth disease generally take to heal?
Answer
Under normal circumstances, hand, foot, and mouth disease usually takes about half a month to gradually recover. However, the severity of each patient’s condition and individual constitution can vary, which may affect the recovery time. It is recommended to change antibiotics under a doctor’s guidance and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, cold, and other irritating foods, as well as trigger foods like leeks, eggs, and seafood. It is advisable to consume more congee-like liquid foods.
